        A. A number of; died            B. The number of; died

        C. A number of; dead           D. The number of; dead

 

【答案】

C

【解析】a number of與the number of,

它們修飾名詞作主語時(shí),謂語的數(shù)是不一樣的。

 。1)a number of為量詞短語,表示“許多……”,中心詞是這個(gè)短語所修飾的復(fù)數(shù)名詞,所以作主語時(shí),謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

(2)the number of表示“……的數(shù)量”,中心詞為number,指的是of后邊名詞的數(shù)量,數(shù)量是個(gè)抽象概念,因此謂語動詞用單數(shù)。
